If Indy drafts a WR this year I'll lose it. They may not have a true #1 but I think the team benefits more if they build the defensive front 7, o-line and run game more. Luck can get by with Hilton/Moncreif/Allen/Fleener/RandomFA next year.
I'd trade fleener for a 2 or 3. He has value. Dude has too many :dahell: plays. Need more draft picks.

We can't use another draft pick on a wr.:lupe:

Lowkey, I don't like Dwayne Allen as a starting TE. He's not athletic. He's like a glorified H back. And Fleener isnt tough enough. Never like Grigson picking both of em in the same draft. I'd trade 1 of them
Definitely not in this draft. We need to improve on the defensive end.

I favor Allen over Fleener, he can develop into a beastly TE one of these days. I concur with what you said about Fleener though, that dude looks soft. But hey, this whole team looks soft at the moment unfortunately and I don't know what's causing that.

I agree. We need more youth on the defensive end too, these old folks are too slow!

I forgot which team it was against, but earlier in the season Luck threw the perfect pass to Coby and he dropped the ball. :ohlawd:

@The Taxman was right. Dude is a trash coach but he probably has a lifetime pass because he had cancer, the Colts make the playoffs yearly and overachieved tand got to the AFCCG. He really needs to be fired but luckily for him he's about another 2-3 years before the expectations are bigger than what he's capable of.

Colt's lost because they got murdered on both sides of the line and because Belichick coaches circles around Pagano and will exploit it all day. Oline managed to hold off Ware/Von Miller last week but let NE's pass rush burst through the line everytime? Sohh sick and tired of Pagano out here looking like AFC Mike Smith.

Luck ain't good enough to carry this team to the SB if that make's him a choker, I disagree but :yeshrug:

What Colts gotta do:
Fire Pagano. They won't.
Fire Manusky. They might.
Not let Grigson mess up in FA again. They won't.
Not blow first rounders on dudes like Trent Richardson and Bjoern Werner who both went from starting to healthy scratches. :snoop:

Do something about the fact that this team hasn't been able to consistently stop the run since I was a child or worse.
Need to work on the right side of the o-line.
They need to draft a RB and pick up a cheap FA or two. Herron should be #2 at best going into next year, but they can't afford to drop a 1st or 2nd on an RB.

Toss: Vinatieri, Toler, LaRon Landry, Josh McRapey, Cribbs and a few dudes I'm forgetting ASAP.

Coming into this year I wasn't expecting a SB or an AFC CG but now the window is open. Going forward these guys don't got excuses. Start performing better or someone gotta lose their job. I hope Irsay gets to pill popping and fires them all tonight.

Seriously... why the fukk is Josh Cribbs even on this team? He is literally the definition of a wasted roster spot at this point. That just reeks of bad coaching and talent scounting/development.

Colts love signing over-eager return men who do nothing but fukk up. Last year it was David Reed this year they sign Cribbs midseason for no reason at all. It was so clear that Cribb's only objective was to take a kick back no matter the costs and that he didn't give a damn about fumbling or potentially messing up field position. 0 reason to sign him.

Its been times where he threw a perfect pass to him and Fleener didnt even look for the ball. Dude does weird sh1t. And we really need to clean up them drops next yr.

Hiring Wade Phillips needs to be the 1st priority.

Didnt have a prob w/ Cribbs till he started doin dumb sh1t in the playoffs. He was more dynamic than Whelan :usure:

Yo, what if Peyton Manning retired and came in as our new offensive coordinator :blessed:

Agreed, dude had a habit of recklessly taking the ball out from 8-9 yards deep in the endzone (happened today). Such a low-IQ, unnecessarily risky play. :mindblown:

Still, you're telling me that roster spot couldn't have been better used on defense? Does a mild upgrade at KR for a team with an offense that racks up yards really move the needle :comeon:

Still dont understand why we got rid of Deji Karim. Probably our best returner since Dom Rhodes

Exactly. Indy yardage/points wise had a top 5 offense. A washout like Cribbs wasn't going to add much. He returned one kick and it got called back on penalty. I hated dude from the jump because it was all about personal glory for him. He had a way bigger chance to be a liability then an asset and it showed all through the playoffs.

Im sayin I didnt care. That defense is way more than 1 player away. Id argue Cribbs was better than Trent Richardson and we gave up a 1sr rnd pick for him. And Cribbs didnt even come on board till late in the season. I don't get why one of the WRs on the practice squad couldnt return.


Bjorn Werner experiment needs to end. I never understood drafting him. Dude is a 4-3 DE, not an OLB in a 3-4.
